White Lives Matter protest staged outside NAACP office

[XtremelyBaneful]

The NAACP and largely the BLM movement are racist but waiving a Confederate flag around while crying racism is sort of an oxymoron. These people are just as dumb as the idiots screaming at cops.

i know a lot of colored folk who can relate to BLM because they know and understand what it means to be living under white privilege. i don't know nobody who;s about this WLM ish.

What he means is that in order for true equality to happen, we must first allow some groups to be greater than everyone else. Equality.

no, that's not what he means.

That reminds me of what Morgan Freeman said about the whole race thing in the 21st century.

"Do you think race plays a part in income inequality today?"
"Today? No. You and I are proof. What does race have to do with it? Put your mind to what you want to do and go for that. It's kind of like religion to me... it's a good excuse for not getting there."

The (black) host then goes on to acknowledge that race is a problem, but he's getting tired of reporting on it every day due to the 24 hour news cycle. I think that's where some of the "outrage" against BLM comes from. Whatever channel you watch, wherever you go on the internet you're slapped in the face with the race issue.

For a profession like that (acting), income inequality isn't even a question for the average person

I think it's more of a poverty issue than anything else. You can argue about who is more likely to be poor and why, but even when it comes to policing, high poverty neighbourhoods have higher crime rates and more violence and, as such, police patrol those neighbourhoods more often.

These neighbourhoods could be black, Hispanic, white, Asian, etc. It doesn't really matter the race of the people, what matters is that they live in poverty. I think a lot of people cry race when it comes to police brutality, but I think the underlying issue is about socio-economic status.

Agreed.

Anyone happen to see a masked man wielding a crossbow?

The most misleading comic cover. I don't remember Bronze Tiger and Rick Flag being shirtless during that story.

^I've filed a lawsuit. Still waiting to hear back.

Save the Rabbits.

Time to rattle the cages

 

[Hotwire]

The best way I've heard it put was something like this.

Saying all lives matter in response to someone saying black lives matter is like telling your broken arm that all bones matter. Yes, they do but, for right now, we're going to focus on the one that needs some help.

 

[Kane52630]

I got a better one

"Save The Whales" doesn't mean "F*** all Dolphins"

Yep

 

[Pink Ranger]

"Save The Whales" doesn't mean "**** all Dolphins"

It does to me!

 

[Guts]

Kane52630 has clearly never met a dolphin.

 

[LoganGambit87]

It does to me!

PROBLEM?

 

[Breogan]

PROBLEM?

Oh sure, show the pic of the light skinned dolphin.

Those dolphins are the ones that Hollywood feels brings in higher box office. Otherwise it comes off as a black dolphin movie.

Are the whales demanding free fish for their former Sea World brethren?

That's not even remotely comparable.

If everyone has food, then Bob by default will also have food.

 

[Reek]

The Dolphin movement is real. I spent thousands on a Dolphinoplasty.

 

[chaseter]

Agreed.

Double agreed.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Not if no one is aware Bob has a lack of food and he's shut down whenever he tries to bring it to everyone's attention.

 

[chaseter]

Who gathers and prepares the food in this scenario?
